Abstract

This Act relates various aspects of debts arising from the sale of sugar-cane grown in Fiji to sugar manufacturers. All debts shall be deemed, for the purpose of attachment of debt and for no other purpose, to arise on the first day of a continuous cutting. "Continuous cutting" means the cutting of sugar-cane whether interrupted or not by a period or periods of not more than seven days. Section 4 prescribes that certain writs are to rank equally and section 6 defines jurisdiction of courts where writs issued by more than one court. Any party dissatisfied with any order made by a magistrates' court under this Act may, whatever the amount involved in such order, appeal to the Supreme Court in the manner provided by the Magistrates' Courts Act.
